Word Wipe

Word Wipe is an exciting twist on the classic word search game. Instead of simply searching for words in a fixed grid, you can link letters in any direction. As you form words, the letters disappear from the grid, causing those above to drop down, creating new and interesting combinations.

How to Play Word Wipe

Finding Words

In Word Wipe, your goal is to search the grid for words. To remove tiles, simply select the letters that form a word. When the letters disappear, the tiles above them will fall into place, potentially creating new word opportunities. You can form words by connecting adjacent letters in any direction, similar to the rules in Boggle. Words must be at least three letters long to count.

Time Limit

Each level in Word Wipe is time-bound, requiring quick thinking and swift action to meet the objective. With each new level, your target is to clear more rows. Successfully removing these rows earns you a bomb, which can be used to eliminate a section of the grid of your choice.

Unique Mechanics

Word Wipe offers a refreshing alternative to traditional word search games, allowing for more diverse and creative word formations due to its flexible rules. The possible word combinations depend on the tiles you decide to remove and the order in which you do so.

Statistics

At the end of each level, you receive a summary of your performance, including your best word, the highest level achieved, and other useful stats that help you track your progress.
